A nondispersive infrared sensor (NDIR sensor) is a simple spectroscopic sensor often used as a gas detector. It is non-dispersive in the fact that no…

Lyman alpha systems are becoming a very useful source of information in physical cosmology. In astronomical spectroscopy, the Lyman-alpha forest is a series of absorption…

In polymer physics, the coil–globule transition is the collapse of a macromolecule from an expanded coil state through an ideal coil state to a collapsed…

Molybdenum (Mo) is the 54th most common element in the Earth’s crust. It is a chemical element with the symbol Mo and atomic number 42,…

In electronics engineering, ‘Electric Fuse’ is a safety device that protects us from fire. It’s essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts…

The thermoelectric effect is a phenomenon by which a temperature difference is directly converted to electric voltage and vice versa. When two dissimilar metals such…

The term “Thermoelectricity” is generally restricted to the irreversible conversion of electricity into heat described by the English physicist James P. Joule and to three…

Classical Physics is generally concerned with matter and energy on the normal scale of observation, while much of modern physics is concerned with the behavior…

Viscoelasticity is the behavior of materials with both fluid and elastic properties at the same time. It is the property of materials that exhibit both…

Tunneling is a quantum mechanical effect. Quantum tunneling or tunneling (US) is the quantum mechanical phenomenon where a subatomic particle passes through a potential barrier.…

Ultracold atoms are atoms that are maintained at temperatures close to 0 kelvin (absolute zero), typically below several tens of microkelvin (µK). At these temperatures…

Quantum simulators permit the study of quantum systems that are difficult to study in the laboratory and impossible to model with a supercomputer. They are…
